The Art of Appearing Well.

There is nothing upon which wo-
man expends more thought, time and
expenses than In her endeavor to ap-
pear we'll in public. There is nothing
more attractive in the world than a
healthy glow of cheek, a we'll rounded
form and an elastic step in a woman.
Ornaments and decorations look out Of
place on person of pale face, fragile
form and languid movement. These
things may cover some defects, hut
there is an absence of "the eternal fit
ness of things" There are hundreds
of ladies whose lives are ebbing slow
ly away, and leaving then wrecks of
their former selves" who might be
saved from this "living death" by the
use of that invigorating tonic, Swift's
Specific. There are number of the
finest looking ladies in Atlanta to-day
who few years ago we're perfect ply
steal wrecks, but whose health has
been restored by this wonderful reme-
dy. No one who looks upon their
magnificent forms and cheerful coun-
tcnances to-day would suspicion that
these were the parties who few
months ago were praying to debut
it is SO. They are ready to admit that
Swift's Specific saved their lives aud
saved them from untold suferings.
One of them remarked recently that
"if it had not been for the S. S. S.
tonic would have been in my grave
before now" Mrs. J.. +. Bradley, of |
Detroit, Mich, says: "Every bottle of
S. S. S. is worth thousand times its
weight in gold" Mrs. Sarah E. Tur-
ner, of Tennessee, says. rs. S. S.
enatched me from the grave when /
was dying" Mrs. f. j. Cosnahan, of
Va, says KS. S. S. saved
me from the grave" Mrs. Elizabeth
Baker, of Georgia, said: "Even Van
lerbilt's money could not buy what S.
). S. has done for me."-[Capitol, At

LOUISIANA RAILROADS.. - North
louisiana is wide awake on the rail-
DAD question and has fair prospects Of
,etting three important lines built
within the next two or three years.
The latest enterprise is a road to run
rom Brinkley, Ark, to Alexandra,
"a. 1t is reported, we know not with
low much truth, that Jay Gould has ,
omething to do with this enterprise, t
nd that it will, in connection with :
he Iron Mountain and Texas Pacific, :
i've the shortest line between st. )
.ouis and New Orleans. However a
hat may be, North Louisiana will !
cap large reward from it. The peo-
10 all along the line of the projected
Mississippi Valley road are alive to
,eir interests and will givee it the
equired assistance while the N. o.
!. & TT. S. road is numbered among .
10 certainties. We can but smile
pom this looked for prosperity of
'orth Louisiana, cognizant of the fact
lat it means untold wealth to our own
huff City. Two, at least, of the pro-
cted railroads will lay down their
nrdens Of rich freight at cur doors,
nd Natcbez will become great CON-
ercial centre. Let the good work go
4, until these grand results shall
ave been realized. - Natchez Banner.
